Seeing through stones, the awakening of superpowers

After the jadeite is cut, it looks much better when placed in water than when viewed directly. What's more, the raw stones here have been soaked in water for more than three years.

But take it out and let it dry, and it will soon return to its original appearance.

"If you like it, I can sell it to you."

The pot-bellied boss said.

"Hey, what's the key price?"

"These are all old materials left over from my previous business days. Some of them are no longer mines. If you want them, it's eight thousand yuan!"

They are all discarded materials, and the boss actually offered eight thousand, which is quite outrageous.

"Too high, boss!"

"Then tell me the price."

"Five thousand!"

Principal Lin hesitated for a while before he quoted a price.

The shop owner with a big belly watched Mr. Lin squirm for a long time and thought that Mr. Lin would quote a very low price. Unexpectedly, he offered a high price of five thousand. It seemed that he was really a newbie.

The reason why Principal Lin behaves like this is of course all pretending.

The main reason is that he is afraid that if the boss hears him asking about the price, the stones will not be sold. After all, they are all treated as scrap. If the boss becomes suspicious and cuts them himself, that will not be good.

"Okay, five thousand is five thousand. How much do you want?"

"Boss, you have to show it to me after all. Don't worry, I'll take at least one piece!"

The shop owner didn't care when he heard it. Anyway, he could make at least 5000 yuan in vain, so he could just take it.

The rough stones fished out still smell like fish.

The shop owner also specially brought a bucket of water, and Principal Lin was washing it while he watched.

Of course, the shop owner was not afraid of the fishy smell. The main reason was that he wanted to keep the stone moist at all times. Otherwise, it would look ugly when it dried out. What if Lin didn’t buy it?

Principal Lin picked and picked, and finally chose a cut piece and a completely covered rough stone.

The boss was a little confused and thought that Lin Xiao would buy cut rough stones, but forget it, he sold two pieces of scrap at once and made 1 yuan in vain. Who wouldn't be happy.

What Principal Lin was interested in was the completely covered piece. As for the cut stone, its actual value was not as high as the bricks.

This piece of completely covered material is actually made of ice. This is the first time that Lin has seen multi-colored jadeite, green, purple, red, yellow and white, five colors, and it is not the kind of colorful jade that has edges, every color is very bright. , mixed together and complementing each other, people can't help but marvel at the magic of nature's creations.

It was a good start. Lin Xiao also went very smoothly in this market and bought 12 yuan of rough stones in one go.

The rough stones in this market are generally small in size and the price is not high, but there are a lot of old materials that have been accumulated over the years, and Colonel Lin really paid for them. After all calculations, the original stone cost 12 yuan, which was less than 50 yuan.

When leaving the market, Principal Lin found that it was almost dark. He didn't expect that time passed so quickly inside.

Principal Lin took out his cell phone and found a message from Daiya, as well as news that Lu Xiaojia was safe.

I almost forgot that I was going to send Daiya photos and videos of the jade meat with the shell removed today.

Schoolmaster Lin quickly sent the video and photos.

Soon I received a reply:

"Is this true? It looks even more beautiful than I imagined."

"Yes, when the finished product is made, the transparency and gloss will be improved to a higher level."

"Okay, thank you."

Only then did Lin realize that he had not found an engraver yet.

The shape requested by Daiya is a large drop-shaped sign with two dolphin-shaped reliefs on it.

Very few people would do this kind of subject matter.

After thinking about it, Principal Lin called Bai Qingran:

"get off work?"

"Ah."

"Are there any jade carvers you are familiar with who have better skills?"

"Yes, how long do you need for the construction period?"

"A month."

"Okay, I'll send it to you once you find it."

Not long after, Bai Qingran sent someone's authoritative contact information:

"You contact him directly."

"OK, thanks!"

Schoolmaster Lin added this person with the prestigious name "Baijiahe Jade Carving".

"This person's surname is also Bai, so he can't be related to you."

Principal Lin felt that this man and Bai Qingran had a special relationship.

After looking at his circle of friends, there was no other content except for a few jade carvings.

"Yes, this is my dad. He is a relatively famous jade carver."

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a family.

Schoolmaster Lin typed a long series of ellipses.

I remember that when Bai Qingran was on a business trip, it happened to be the day Fan Xiaohui was killed. Bai Qingran also left her father's contact information for School Lin, saying that she could contact him if there was any trouble.

Now we finally know each other.

"What should I say, just say that you introduced me?"

"Well, I told my dad."

"Okay, got it, thank you!"

"Ah."

Since Principal Lin met Bai Qingran, Bai Qingran not only gave him a car, but also helped him a lot. He has not thanked her properly yet.

Thinking of this, Colonel Lin had a headache. He was not someone who liked to owe favors.

I really want to thank her when the time comes, but Bai Qingran seems to really have nothing. Although she can't be said to be rich, with her family's financial resources, she can afford all kinds of high-end accessories that are common in life.

The key point is that I don't know what the other person likes. If I ask her directly, Bai Qingran probably won't tell her based on her temperament.

Now that I have contacted Bai Qingran's father, would you like to find a chance to ask? Principal Lin thinks this is a good idea.

"Hello, Uncle Bai!"

Regarding Bai Qingran's father, Principal Lin felt that it was more reasonable to call him Uncle Bai instead of Master Bai.

"Xiaolin, right? I heard Qingran talk about you."

In fact, Bai Qingran had only mentioned School Lin once before, during that business trip.

But Principal Lin didn't know that. He thought Bai Qingran often talked about him.

"No, it doesn't look like her character. What did she say about me?"

Schoolmaster Lin was a little curious.

"She just said that she has a friend who might call me if she gets into trouble, and then she said that friend's name is Lin Xiao."

Uh-huh, it turns out that this is what is called mentioning me.

"This is rare, Xiao Lin. Qingran never tells me about her friends. In the past few years, you seem to be the first one."

Then, Bai Jiahe added.

"I just arrived in Ruicheng not long ago and I am not familiar with the place. I am grateful to her for taking care of me these days."

Principal Lin didn’t know how to answer the question, so he could only reply briefly.

"It's rare for Qingran to take the initiative to take care of someone. I heard from Qingran that you want to sculpt. Let's do this. You can come over tomorrow with the materials and ideas, and we'll have a chat in person."

"Uncle Bai, would you like me to send you the materials first for you to take a look at? I also have an electronic version of the design drawings."

"No, I'm not used to seeing pictures on my phone. You'd better come over and we'll talk in person."

Schoolmaster Lin is actually quite busy. He has an appointment with Mr. Liu, the handsome-armed man tomorrow, but since he is Bai Qingran's father, he still has to give him face.

"Okay, otherwise, I'll treat your whole family to dinner tomorrow night, and we can chat while we eat."

Principal Lin thought about inviting Bai Qingran's family to have a meal first, as a simple way of expressing his gratitude.
